Bible Note: Prewrath vs. Pretribulation Rapture Recommended Websites Paso: I highly recommend the following websites. They provide much good teaching and information on the Prewrath (as opposed to Pretrib) Rapture view. www.solagroup.org Features a glossary of terms related to the biblical end times, plus answers to common questions about the false prophet and second coming. www.revelationcommentary.org Verse-by-verse commentary on the book of Revelation. Prewrath vs. Pretrib Rapture Prewrath 'The Prewrath position teaches that the true church will be raptured when the great tribulation by Antichrist, inspired by Satan, is cut short by God's day-of-the-Lord wrath, which will occur between the sixth and seventh seals of Revelation, sometime during the second half of the seventieth week. The persecution associated with the great tribulation of Antichrist is viewed as the wrath of Satan, whereas the events that follow, beginning with the seventh seal, are considered the wrath of God.' Pretribulationalism 'Pretribulationists teach that the return of Christ has been imminent since the days of the early church and that the church will be raptured sometime before the seventieth week begins. Although they have no Scripture that in so many words teaches it, they teach that there are no signs and the rapture could take place at any moment. The seventieth week of Daniel is therefore considered to be a seven-year period of God's judgmental "tribulation" (hence the term pretribulation). This position generally views the seventieth week as the day of the Lord's wrath from which the church is excluded.' (www.solagroup.org) While I neither desire nor intend to debate the Prewrath Rapture position, I will nevertheless be happy to provide further information upon request. Grace to you, Kalos |
